Jennifer was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and she helped us understand all the basics; she communicated well before, during and after; was very prompt; was able to adjust her time to come a little earlier when we were able to get there earlier; and was just all around great from a scheduling perspective. If my dog could leave a review, he would say she was terrific. I know thi because he settled down right away and was comfortable and relaxed when I returned home!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and absolutely love caring for them! Over the years, I’ve watched and walked pets for family members, friends, and neighbors, gaining experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure each pup feels loved, safe, and cared for like they’re my own. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend lots of time with the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and companionship while they’re in a comfortable environment. I also genuinely enjoy long walks in my personal time, so I’d love to have a furry friend join me for some extra exercise and enrichment! I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide reliable care and accommodate many scheduling needs. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend drop-in visits and dog walks. If I accept your booking, you can count on me to arrive on time, communicate consistently, and give your pet the attention and care they deserve. If you have a specific schedule in mind, feel free to reach out, I’m happy to discuss accommodations whenever possible! When caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s, I maintain a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment. I always double check that leashes, doors, and gates are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks or playtime. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.

If I could leave 10 stars, I would. Lexi was fantastic. I usually worry about my pups while I'm away. This time I was actually able to relax. She was very attentive and my pups love her. She sent pictures, which was very calming to me being away. I would recommend her to anyone!

About: I love playing, loving, and just spending time with animals. For as long as I’ve remembered there’s always been pets in my home. I will treat your babies as if they’re my own. Whatever you need done, I’ll be there and I’ll do it with care and grace. Currently I only work about 20 hours a week and have a lot of time to spare. I can drop in to check on your animals at anytime, and I can take them on long walks (or shorter if necessary), during the day or evening 3/4 times a week. Even on my work days, I will be available all morning for whichever services you need. I live in a development with a lot of space to walk dogs, I also have my own car for transportation whenever necessary. I’m very familiar with giving any kind of medication to animals, and/or feeding and walks on time.

About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!

Rachel did an amazing job with our dog and cat. Her experience and knowledge came into play when our dog got a little sick, and she was on top of everything! Rachel paid extra attention and time with our pup, treated her like a princess, and helped us not feel stressed about it. We knew our pets were in such good hands. She’s very thorough with notes and pics with every visit.

About: Ive been pet sitting for friends and family for years, and have had multiple work experiences in the animal care field. I've been able to teach basic commands to friends and families pets, and understand the complexities of medical care for not only my own animal, but others as well. I'm currently working full time but could very much use the free time I have of hanging out with animals! Having time to be able to take care of others animals can provide much needed stress relief for not only me, but for pet parents knowing their pets are being taken care of. However you enjoy your animal to be cared for in your home, you can be sure that I will do just that with them! You can be assured that I will take into consideration your pets safety. Hopefully I can meet your pets first and we can create a plan to work together well!

About: Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I am a local high school teacher enjoying summer break and looking to spend my extra time caring for animals. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently care for three dogs, two cats, a rabbit, and a blue tongue skink, and I have experience with many other types of pets as well. My dogs actively compete in agility, scent work, Fast CAT, and dock diving, so I am comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. Whether your pet needs a walk, feeding, medication, playtime, or simply some extra attention while you're away, I will care for them as if they were my own. As a teacher, I am dependable, organized, and responsible. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pets in someone else's care, and I will provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are happy and safe. I have experience with: Dogs Cats Rabbits Reptiles Small animals Senior pets High-energy dogs Multi-pet households I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I currently care for three dogs, two cats, a rabbit, a snake, and a blue tongue skink, so feeding, exercise, cleaning, and spending quality time with animals are part of every day. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule as a teacher on break, which allows me to provide visits throughout the day, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. During the school year, I continue offering pet care services, but I am unavailable during the school day while teaching. However, I am available before and after school, evenings, weekends, holidays, and for overnight stays. I enjoy staying active with my own dogs through activities like agility, scent work, Fast CAT, and dock diving, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. I understand how important routines are for animals and will work to keep your pet's schedule as consistent as possible while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay on their normal routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, exercise, and household routines. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. Safety is always a priority. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure, keep pets on leash during walks unless otherwise instructed in a safe enclosed area, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being. I am comfortable caring for multiple pets and have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and other small animals. I also know how important communication is for pet owners. I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are being well cared for while you're away. As a pet owner myself, I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to provide dependable, loving care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe.

About: I have had and taken care of several of my own dogs in the past. I have a couple years of experience with house and dog sitting for family and close friends! Also I’m willing to take care of plants and will keep the home clean! I work a full time job between 7-4 Monday through Friday in Lancaster city. But if housesitting, I am available to take dogs on a walk in the morning and right after work! On weekends, I am typically very open. In my home: I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a large yard to run around in when I need to take a dog out for a potty break. I have a nice neighborhood to take the dog on long walks when needed. I have plenty of space in my home for the dog to run around in. Clients home: I can be at the clients home whenever is needed outside of my work schedule. I am willing to take care of the dog however they are typically taken care of.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and over the past 2 years I started house sitting and watching dogs/cats in my community. I’ve watched animals with specific dietary needs as well as given medications to both dogs and cats. I love spending time with the animals and tailoring to their specific needs. I have stayed with dogs and cats ranging from 6 months old to seniors. I am currently working part time and have flexibility throughout the week/weekend. I can drop by or hang out with your pets for a few hours when needed. I love to play, go on walks, or hang around if your pet just needs a companion. I always follow my clients guidelines and expectations in their home. I make sure to have great communication so they have one less stressor for the day!

Sarah was WONDERFUL!!!! Cannot recommend her enough. I was traveling through the area and needed dog sitting on two of the days. My pug, Bob, and my German Shepherd, Shy, were anxious and rattled from all the traveling, but they absolutely loved Sarah. These dogs do not take to just anybody- especially the German shepherd, who is very nervous and apprehensive about new people. By the end of the first visit, Shy was sitting in Sarah’s lap and licking her face! I am so thankful to have found Sarah and cannot recommend her enough. If you are looking for a reliable, attentive, considerate, and caring Dogsitter, I would recommend you look no further than Sarah!! Thank you again, Sarah! You turned a difficult situation into a joyful one to remember!

Akaycia was absolutely amazing! She came over to meet Tenchi (my dog) before we left on vacation and my dog instantly loved her. She came over and hung out with her, took her for walks each time (she did this on her own) reported exactly how she was doing, potty breaks, and I also got lots of great pictures! I’ve never been away from my dog who is 10 before and she made me feel comfortable and kept in contact so I knew she was doing well. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Akaycia!

Jennifer did a few drop-ins for us in early January. We have a Sr. Golden and a puppy Golden to which she gave the best care. We did a meet and greet prior to the drop in so she could meet the pups. I was so impressed with the thoroughness of her questions to understand habits and schedules. If the pups could talk I know they would say they were overjoyed with her love and attention while she was there. Definitely recommend and would use again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Ephrata on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 2,176 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ephrata. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ephrata stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ephrata choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Ephrata with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ephrata. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
